Office space totaling 902 million square feet stands empty, putting the U.S. office building vacancy rates at an all-time high even years after COVID-19 upended work dynamics (Moody's). The combination of hybrid work patterns, employees push for flexible working arrangements, and changing office needs is creating a shift in how spaces are managed.
